The district of Al Wakra in Qatar inherits a rich cultural heritage and offers historical attractions as well as leisure options, beaches, shopping and sports for the discerning traveller.
Al Wakra Beach
The pleasant Al Wakra Beach is always a great place in which to enjoy leisure. This public beach happens to be reputed for its golden sands, calm waters and family-friendly nature. There are also attractive shaded areas and playgrounds for kids at this shoreline. You may also take the opportunity to take a stroll or jog on the appealing promenade.
Souq Al Wakra
A rather different kind of attraction is the captivating Souq Al Wakra, which is an agreeable seaside marketplace that looks over the Arabian Gulf. At this souq on the waterfront, you will find boutique shops, traditional handicrafts and other interesting goods, as well as dining options and play areas for children. When looking for 5-star hotels in Doha to stay at, consider a property that is conveniently located next to this market (and the beach), such as Souq Al Wakra Hotel Qatar by Tivoli.
Al Wakra Public Park
The charming Al Wakra Public Park happens to be an attractive green space that presents an array of recreational opportunities. Naturally, this park will be an appealing place for families with children. It is also recognised for its outstanding plant diversity, with many shrubs, trees and plants to be found there.

Al Janoub Stadium
Meanwhile, sports fans will be interested in the Al Janoub Stadium, which was, in fact, designed by Zaha Hadid, a famed architect. The design of the roof of this stadium draws inspiration from the appearance of the sails of the time-honoured dhow boats when they are filled with wind.
